SUBJECT: LC890XL/Accessing Second Bin
Q : When using an LC890XL with Ventura 2.X (PostScript Driver) the second bin can’t be accessed, but when using an LC890 there is
no problem. Why?
A: When using Ventura 2.X with a PostScript printer the driver “PostScript” is selected. To select the second bin of a PostScript
printer “ALT #1” is chosen under the paper tray selection when choosing the print function.
When “ALT #1” is selected, the driver looks for the product name of the PostScript printer. In the case of the LC890/LC890XL, the
product name listed is “Silentwriter.” However, the LC890XL has two different product names depending on the start page
heading. The following chart crossreferences each product, start page heading and product name:
Product Heading on Start Page *Product Name
LC890 Silentwriter LC890 Silentwriter
LC890XL LC890XL LC890XL
LC890XL Silentwriter LC890XL Silentwriter XL
* The product name is easily obtained bysending the following PostScript operator program to the printer:
Times-Roman findfont 12 scalefont setfont
100 moveto
statusdict begin
product end show

Once the correct product name is determined, the Ventura 2.X file “PS2.PRE” must be modified. The name “Silentwriter” appears
on line 1 of this file. When using an LC890XL that name will have to be changed to either “LC890XL” or “Silentwriter XL”,
depending on the results obtained on the output page after sending the aformentioned PostScript program to the printer.
SUBJECT: LC890XL Auto Paper Tray/Auto Tray Switch
Q : Does the NEC LC890XL Silentwriter support the Auto Paper Tray/Auto Tray Switch Feature, and if so, what must, what must be
done to the printer to allow it to perform this function?
A: The NEC LC890XL Silentwriter does support Auto Paper Tray/Auto Tray Switch Feature. In order to allow this function to work
the LC890XL must have the Auto Tray Switch feature selected feature, both trays on the LC890XL must have the same paper length
selected (this function is also selected through the front panel).
NOTE: Auto hopper select is software independent.
SUBJECT: LC890 Manual Feed Selection
Q : How do you select the manual feed slot using the PostScript operators?
A: The manual feed slot can be accessed by sending the following PostScript operator:
statusdict begin / manualfeed true store end
If the second bin is not on the printer the LC890 will see only one active bin. Hence, the PostScript operator must be used in order
to access the manual feed slot. If a command. is sent to the printer for bin 2, it is ignored and the default bin (i.e. bin 1) becomes
the active bin.
